SUICIDE JUMPERS!!!!

Suicide tries close highways
Media may spur copycats

Two apparent suicide tries forced the closing of two Atlanta area interstates Tuesday, raising concern among officials that media reports are fueling a copycat trend.

The two incidents were the third and fourth times in three months a metro interstate has been closed because of suicide threats.


Police had to briefly close all lanes of I-20 in DeKalb County about 3 p.m. Tuesday when a man who climbed over a safety fence along the Wesley Chapel Road overpass threatened to leap into traffic. Police managed to grab him before he could jump. By late Tuesday night, police had not released his identity. No charges are expected, DeKalb police spokesman Dale Davis said.

6. That happened right in front of me

on the Harbor Freeway in Los Angeles back in 1965 or 66. Believe me, it is NOT a clean way to go. It's a very messy way to go.

they should shoot that guy they stopped as an example to other would-be traffic disruptors

8. I can see it now

"My pain is so much more important than the trauma my jumping would cause whoever actually hits me with his/her vehicle. Their lives don't matter, but my drama does."
